UOW is a university of international standing with an enviable record of achievement in teaching and research. It is also located in one of the most beautiful settings in Australia, just an hour's drive south of Sydney.

We provide a real focus on the student experience. We understand students come to us to:

  • learn about and reach beyond their field of interest;
  • explore many different experiences that will help them choose their future directions; and also
  • meet others and enjoy a very special time in their lives.

We recognise students learn in many ways, from formal teaching settings, from research in libraries and laboratories and also from other students and from the many cultural, recreational and artistic activities that are available to members of the University community. Our aim is to nurture quality graduates who are experts in their fields and who can work anywhere in the world. Above all, we are looking to produce tomorrow's leaders, mature well-rounded individuals who will return a contribution to society.

The University recently celebrated a decade of outstanding graduate outcomes as ranked by the independent Good Universities Guide. Our current five-star rankings (Australian Good Universities Guide) have been awarded in the categories of:

  • Getting a Job
  • Positive Graduate Outcomes
  • Starting Salary
  • Research Intensity
  • Graduate Satisfaction
  • Generic Skills

how the UOW & cefa partnership works for cefa students

UOW's commitment to helping greater numbers of rural youth achieve their tertiary goals is demonstrated by their Education Partnership with CEFA.

To support those rural students who receive grants from their local Education Foundations, UOW provides additional financial assistance to full-time, first-year undergraduate students. This assistance is in the form of $500 textbook vouchers. The vouchers are limited to first-year students who received grants from their local Education Foundations that year.

UOW assistance to all rural students

UOW students are able to access a variety of scholarships and grants. These are not limited to CEFA students alone - all students are welcome to apply according to the selection criteria. It is best to check the UOW website for changes and new offers:
